However, he wasn't able to get away from LAPD or the news chopper following him.
It all started Wednesday after the suspect refused to pull over for a traffic violation. He then drove to an apartment complex in Anaheim, where he stole a white van and crashed into several police vehicles before starting another wild chase.

He then broke into a home and got into a physical altercation with the owner before stealing another vehicle and nearly driving over the dog and the owner.
After the vehicle overheated, the suspect tried to make a run for it and was eventually apprehended.
The original traffic violation the driver was pulled over for was for "Failure to Yield."
